Meanwhile, Haruka was walking outside quietly reflecting on the peaceful day. She saw the sun had a beautiful ray that he did the crosswalks; she had felt the warmth of the sun and thought to herself, "Hiroshi is a person who I used to think never understood the pain she had." She reflected on his calm demeanor; she remembers how he used to say, "People are humans with emotions and should be treated with kindness and respect." She wanted to say the same words to an old friend who had passed away; she was on the beach, and she said humans deserve respect. "It felt strange but yet peaceful," she said to herself. "Friend, you would have..." Her eyes began to well up in tears; she covered her mouth—time had frozen under the physical weight she had been through. Her smile felt bright enough to make her heart ache from the sheer impact. She said, "No matter how far apart we are." She hesitated to say another word, but she said, "I won't forget you no matter what." The birds started feeling the emotion she had coming from her aura that felt overwhelmingly sad. The birds begin to chirp quietly across the nest. She said, "It's okay." She smiled while petting them quietly beneath the sun. She said, "Bye." Quotation marks that echo through the forest.

  She walked alone, hearing the echo of the birds singing peacefully in the forest. She saw the beautiful leaves that glittered like butterflies flying across the dawn of the sky. Yet again, she said, "I must catch up to Hiroshi no matter what." Her voice was filled with determination that echoed through the grass field that was quick but swayed like a magical paradise that was meant to be seen for eternity. She has expressed her gratitude by touching the soft grass that filled the cold, summer-blue sun.

  She had walked across the sidewalks into the forest that was covered in trees that had been there for ages scattered across the forest that once used to be alive, but now it looks dead inside, like it has not grown in ages. She had walked there and past the same cemetery to see her long-gone friend where the forest was most young and alive and healthy. Birds usually y their eggs in the forest, she thought to herself. The forest you see nearly my house is more beautiful when it gets there, but once you get across the sidewalk and go into the forest, it looks more different from before all the way until my friend's grave. She stopped on the right, looking at the cemetery, and saw the same pce where she had been buried. She walked in, going to her friend's grave whom she had spoken to. "It felt like yesterday we had first met." The birds had nded softly on top of the tombstone; she had been looking for centuries, like she'd been there time and time again even though she'd been there for only one day. She smiled quietly; her smile felt peaceful enough to soothe the air, making the wind calm down a bit. Her eyes glittered like gems, that were on the verge of tears.

  She walked past the tree and waved back, giving a farewell smile that had made the birds quiver as they stood, echoing towards the sun that bore down for a moment. She walked away, crossing the sidewalk, and smiled to herself and spoke. "Yet your memories will be cherished with me forever." She walked past the forest, yet her foot spoke in the rhythm "tap, tap, tap." She had passed the sidewalk where Hiroshi had gone; she saw him once ahead, yet again, very quiet. Hiroshi spoke to himself, "I never thought school years would go by quickly." How often did I get to see Aya? She's been pretty busy reading Diamond Man."

  Hiroshi had reflected on her smile that had him shiver on how cute it was and her rainbow eyes that had not been covered; only half of the pupils had the rainbow gem eyes, and her head only tilted, and people who had seen it would say, "That's SOO cute!" Hiroshi had snapped out of his thought, and he said, "I notice that someone is behind me." The thought of it scared him a bit; he began to turn his head and saw Haruka, who seemed different today. No longer did she look like she could say mean things to Hiroshi, but instead she looked afraid for some reason, Hiroshi thought to himself. I've never known Haurka could be this calm; from when I first met her, she's been different. His eyes were wide, and then a smile formed on his lips; it was peaceful, like a st gem in the first forest. Then Haurka's eyes widened. She said, "Why are you smiling towards someone you should hate?" She turned her head, trying to ignore him, but this time it wasn't in anger but in fear. Hiroshi said, "It's because though you've been mean, you've been bearing such pain in your heart; I can feel it!" His voice sounded as peaceful as the wind that had acted out the cold night and kept it shining.

  Harkua's eyes had widened yet again; it had seemed like he saw right through her heart and the pain she's been enduring for the past years. She had fallen on her knees in shock of hearing from a man who had not experienced her pain. She said, "You don't get it!" Her voice trembled with saddened anger, but Hiroshi said, "Even though I don't get it, that doesn't mean I can just stand back." His voice sang really deep; she gasped. She couldn't have seen a single word coming from his mouth, only just covering her mouth and crying. Hiroshi said, "It's okay to cry. Yet again I felt you've been in pain, haven't you, Haruka?" She stared up at Haruka, looking at his smile so sincere and his eyes glittering with an empathic soul.

  Haurka slowly began to lift her head up tall with tears; she had thought they came from her friends, who said in a fshback, "Always choose the man who will love you the most.” She clung to him, hugging him deeply and crying. Hiroshi smiled quietly while patting her back; the sun had gotten brighter, the leaves had begun to sway against the trees, and her teardrop began to make the flower turn blue and blossom. Hiroshi said quietly, "It's okay.” His voice was barely a whisper. The birds had seen them and sang quietly. They did that for a moment. Haurka said, "Thank you; I am fine now." Her voice was barely a whisper; she had her head up and said, "See ya, Hiroshi.” Her smile was bright, Hiroshi said. ”See ya, Haurka.” His smile was charming—so charming that it made an impact on Haruka. Haruka's eyes had widened; she had smile as she left. She waved back to Hiroshi and he waved back to Haruka. The sun had fully shone bright enough to cut the darkness. Haruka walked passed Hiroshi and thought to herself, Oh, I forgot to say sorry to Hiroshi. She had tried to go back to Hiroshi but it would take her a long time to get back to Hiroshi. She kept walking seeing the crosswalks and the traffic lights. The red lights she had seen were still there, and she pressed the walk button make sure she could walk until green without getting hit. It took minutes until she had walked. She had passed two streets filled with house until the school was now staring at her in the summer hot sun.

  She walked in, and only Hiroshi was the first one there. She was shocked at how fast he got here before anyone else but the ones who were not driving people. In total, she walked in and saw only a group people standing, getting ready for the test that had yet to begin.

  Haurka had thought of a way to say sorry to Hiroshi, but she couldn’t. Her heart rate was so high that she couldn’t think of a way to say anything to him. Hiroshi stared and gave her a smile but only told her to hide her face out of anxiety. A book, she felt, made the nervous Kenji notice and scoffed. He said, "Too weak to even be egoist, not even a fire scoring to your heart. Make sense why?” He ughed harder, but Haruka ignored him and walked. She said, "No one needs people like you.” Kenji said, "What did you say?" but before he could do anything, she was gone. Hiroshi was staring, confused, at him. Hiroshi said, "What happened here?” his voice was in a tone filled with innocence, yet he felt confused. Hiroshi walked away, leaving Haruka to go alone, thinking to herself, "Oh great, Kenji drove him away; now things get worse because of him." She headed toward her cssroom that was filled with students. Before her, the teacher had tapped her on the shoulder. She said, "You go this, Haruka.” She looked towards her straight in the eye; the room had grown quiet due to the teacher. Everyone seemed quite nervous about the test; it hadn't even started yet. The fog of it lingered on everyone’s mind besides Haruka, who seemed quite confident about her score. She had worked countless days to achieve her skills to ever pass the css. She had thought to herself, I can do it no matter what. Her inner voice was determined to even finish the test.
